Summary
Digital asset investment products took in $117.8m of inflows last week, extending a run to five consecutive positive weeks, according to data from CoinShares as reported by Hedgeweek. The headline figure, however, obscures a more volatile pattern: four days of outflows were offset by one strong session on Friday, leaving the weekly result modestly positive.
Total assets under management stood at $155bn, broadly unchanged from the prior week. Flows were concentrated in a narrow set of products. Only four assets recorded inflows, compared with nine the previous week, indicating reduced breadth of participation across the digital asset complex.
Bitcoin was the primary driver of demand, attracting $192.1m of inflows. Ether moved in the opposite direction, recording $81.6m of outflows and breaking a three-week streak of inflows above $190m. The divergence between the two largest assets highlights the selective nature of institutional and investor positioning during the period.
For allocators, the data points to a market where aggregate inflows remain positive but conviction is uneven. The shrinking number of assets attracting capital, combined with the late-week reversal, suggests sentiment remains fragile despite the consecutive positive weeks.
